Leiths Online Cookery School Arvostelua 

Nice food, helped a lot with my cooking, easy to follow recipe

Such a great course to do all in the comfort of your own home. Great range and variety of dishes and videos are so helpful and clear. Great learning experience

An extensive and comprehensive curriculum, excellent online learning tech and excellent teaching.
Great comms with my tutor, who was always prompt and detailed.
I learnt so much more than I was expecting, so many new skills and recipes. I have massively increased my repertoire, confidence and classical cookery knowledge.

Really enjoyed the programme, some delicious recipes that i would not have otherwise attempted. Certainly raised my confidence levels

Great staple recipes covering lots of techniques and using some unfamiliar ingredients. Above all it’s been fun cooking for my family each Saturday. Louisa has given lots of encouraging feedback and has been flexible with substitute ingredients where necessary- we live rurally so popping to the shops not that easy!

I recently completed the essential bread & patisserie course with Leiths Online, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. The support from the tutor was exceptional, and the videos were incredibly clear and easy to follow. This was, without a doubt, the best online cooking course I’ve ever taken. The workshop platform was also very user-friendly and made the learning process enjoyable. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in patisserie and bread baking. I am already looking forward to taking another course with Leiths!

There are plenty of cookery books and online recipe videos etc available, but with limited experience and confidence I always found it difficult to know which to try.
This course has greatly increased my confidence and enjoyment of cooking. I think to teach effectively you have to know your subject in depth and also know how to put this across, which the Leiths demonstrators and in particular our course tutor certainly did. I found the back to basics information and advice very helpful, and also the extra tips throughout the course. The online structure made it easier to do when convenient, however it is still intensive and a time commitment, and I particularly appreciate that although I have submitted the last few dishes after the official end date I am still receiving helpful individual feedback on them. The course cost is very good for the content and structure, but there is the extra cost of ingredients (and for me also some kitchen equipment) to bear in mind. However I feel this has been a good investment for the future.
I was surprised every week by how well most of my dishes turned out by following the detailed written information and videos, which has given me confidence and enthusiasm to continue cooking and hopefully fit in another Leiths course in the future.

Interesting course. Able to work at my own pace. Liked the demonstration videos and the individual feedback. Learnt some helpful tips and recipes that will be useful in the future.

Excellent course. Learnt loads. Workspace app very good. Thanks.

I have learnt a lot about doing the basics well including the preparation of equipment & ingredients. I am more confident in creating dishes and experimenting with new dishes and/or variations of the dishes I have cooked. The feedback on the dishes were helpful and felt you had someone on your side supporting you.
The better if's for me are: Calling the course Absolute Beginners felt a bit undermining (remembering the participants), just Beginners would have worked or Basics done well.. For me, the course was better when I pre watched the videos.. I felt more in control and organised. (maybe that could be a tip at the beginning of the course). Sometimes I was unable to obtain all of the ingredients from my local supermarket.. might be helpful if alternatives were suggested (if practical). A useful course that I would recommend to anyone wanting to learn the basics well and be organised and confident in the kitchen. thanks Mike

Very simple and easy to follow, using the ‘Workshop’ platform. The team was easy to contact, and was very helpful, giving you feedback on your recipes! It was a great experience, and counted for the skills section of my Bronze DofE.

Aaisha solved my problem promptly. She provided excelent customer service.

Really intuitive and easy to follow guidance that I could do from the comfort of my own kitchen. Feel like I have improved my cooking so much!

This has been one of the best courses I’ve taken. The combination of both written and very detailed notes with visual recordings were brilliant. The recordings were the right length with enough information and clearly demonstrated to allow you to follow each step of the recipe. I learned a great deal and having successfully completed the course I will look to do further courses in the future. The main bonus of the course being online was that I could take the course in my own home at a time to suit me.

I liked the way it was presented with very clear guidelines and explanations. I Liked the choice of meals throughout the course and will certainly make many of them again. Louisa our mentor made highly detailed and appropriate comments on the presentation and in answer to any difficulties I had experienced. What I would have liked would be more information about at what stage to freeze something during the presentation and also, apart from the final session when this was presented throughout, some indication of what may be prepared ahead up to what stage and also maybe indications of how to use the offcuts that were wasted for example a recipe for making a vegetable stock.

My son really enjoyed doing the teens course, highly recommend it giving him a lot of confidence.

Very detailed online video instructions, a wonderful, responsive mentor and like-minded fellow students from all over the world makes Leith’s a unique learning experience.

Short Course Plant Based Cookery
The Workshop app only seems to work on WiFi which is a pain if out shopping.
When playing the videos it would be useful to be able to play the whole thing through first then the clips
It’s hard to dip in and out of the videos to look at the ingredients. In general the app is frustrating.
The videos never mention putting the oven on or what temperature and it’s clunky getting out of the videos and in to resources to check
Some of the recipes seemed like an adaptation of a standard recipe to being plant based. ie the cheese sauce. Most vegan cheese sauces have more vegan cheese and nooch 25g of vegan cheese would never be enough. Was very bland.
Very disappointed in the tofu scramble. One of the reasons I signed up . Most on line recipes contain more than just tofu and oil. This was very disappointing.
Were the people in the videos actors or chefs? Some of the plating up was terrible and no real teaching of knife skills.

The feedback is largely’ nice colour on that’ ‘that looks good’ Though hard to see quite what can be done on line. Little constructive feedback if saying’the sauce was a bit bland’ for example.
Some of the recipes were repetitive. Chestnut Mushroom Sausage Rolls and a mushroom filo roast for example.

Positives were learning how to cook amazing mushrooms, buckwheat pancakes, olive oil cake. Seeingother people’ food and photos. Learnings some new recipes- particularly the cakes. Learning how to make smooth batters for pancakes.
Overall largely enjoyed it, not as vibrant as I expected with some repetition in the recipes and some bizarre amounts in the recipes- use of vegan Parmesan which tastes awful. The face to face ones are much better but a long way away

Had a fantastic experience! I learned so much, from new recipes I would never have tried on my own to improving my cooking techniques. The course was engaging, and I really enjoyed every moment in the kitchen. My confidence has grown, and the dishes I now make taste so much better. I’ll definitely be signing up for another course! Highly recommend it to anyone looking to up their cooking game!

Very comprehensive - a great range of dishes to learn skills and very clear.
